Arnav Patel (ID: 00000050ba08b729) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/26/2014 Great extension. It would be nice be nice if the toolbar in the top was only one line instead of two. The second row has only three links (Videos, Shopping and Education)and a lot of grey space which takes away from the appearance of the page.
